Configurable login / MyResearch behavior

Details

Description

It would be useful to be able to configure the default module used when a user logs in (currently, you can configure the default module for a logged-out user, but logged-in users always get sent to MyResearch). Also, within the MyResearch module, it would be useful to be able to configure which page is shown by default from MyResearch/Home. We should add config.ini settings for both of these things.

Activity

Resolved in r3031 (with help from Luke O'Sullivan). Note that this change required the creation of a MyResearch/Favorites action to separate favorites functionality from redirection functionality. The new module in turn required changes to several internal links. I don't believe that this should cause any problems with persistent URLs, since it is extremely unlikely that anyone has bookmarked any of the affected pages, and even if they had, the bookmarks would not have functioned correctly for logged-out users.
